The PS Centre is governed by a Steering Committee, which is made up by the heads of the International Federation Health and Care Department, and Danish Red Cross International Department. A representative from the Advisory Board and from an Operating National Society with experience in psychosocial support programmes serve as observers to the Steering Committee for two-year terms.
